São Paulo on a near 10-year drought away to Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Riding high with the best start to a Campeonato Brasileiro season in its history, São Paulo looks to end a drought against Atlético-MG this Wednesday, in a match for the seventh round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, at Arena MRV, at 8 p.m. (Brasília time). The Tricolor has not beaten Galo as a visitor for almost 10 years and is hoping to take advantage of its good form to break the taboo.

The last time the São Paulo club triumphed over the Alvinegro away from home was in 2026, more precisely, in November of that year. On that occasion, São Paulo defeated their opponent 2-1 in the penultimate round of the Brasileirão.

Since then, the Tricolor has gone to Belo Horizonte nine times without securing another victory. There have been six defeats to Galo and three draws, totaling just an 11.1% success rate.

Now, São Paulo is trying to take advantage of the teams’ contrasting moments to once again beat Atlético-MG away from home. The São Paulo team leads the Brasileirão with 16 points, while Galo, in 16th place with five points, is still trying to find its rhythm after the arrival of coach Eduardo Domínguez.

If São Paulo beats Atlético-MG, it will notch five consecutive wins in the competition, in addition to defending its unbeaten record in these first six rounds.

Last-minute absence

Roger Machado will be without Lucas Ramón for the match. Although he did not travel with the squad, the full-back has not been diagnosed with an injury and will simply be rested. The coaching staff determined that he is experiencing significant physical fatigue after playing 90 minutes in six of the last seven matches, and he will remain in São Paulo’s capital city doing individualized training.
